His right leg was amputated after being pinned between the truck and his cruiser.

Nagy has been going through rehabilitation at the hospital. Now he says he has a lot of living and serving to do.

"I just want to get back and be able to put on that uniform every day and become what I've always wanted to. Almost nine years, it's what I have been doing. I love my job and I just want to get back to it," Nagy said.

He is still recovering from multiple fractures to his left leg and back.
